Protecting Electronics During Shipping Is A Vital Practice

By March 20, 2018 No Comments

Technology is an essential part of society. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, and video game consoles allow us to access the web, stay in contact with cross-country family members, plus stream our favorite television shows or movies. Before these devices become available for consumers to purchase, they must first travel from one location to the next via truck, plane, boat, or by other means. Hot or cold temperatures can damage internal components, which will result in the equipment performing poorly or not operating at all. Water also becomes an issue when transporting a container. These various elements are logistic nightmares, and they can lead to substantial headaches in the managerial department.

 

2 Solutions To Make Transporting Electronics Easier

 

1. Sure-Temp Container Liner

Ships are not the only way that steel containers are moved. They can be seen going down almost any highway on the back of an eighteen-wheeler. Many people have probably even noticed the boxes being relocated by train. The crates offer certain protections against the wind, rain, and other elements, but on occasion, they leak, and water finds its way inside. IR radiation emits through the walls, and devices can become ruined quickly. Install a Sure-Temp Liner to eliminate container rain, reflect heat, and ensure that the shipment gets delivered to its destination safely.

2. Sure-Temp Bubble Pallet Covers

When only a couple of pallets need protection, the Sure-Temp Pallet Cover is an ideal disposable solution. It is a metalized aluminum film that is laminated to polyethylene bubbles. The sacs are filled with air and protect against temperature excursions. It has reflective properties, blocks radiation, convection, and conduction. The covering traps warmth inside while keeping items above freezing and stable for an extended period. Rather than just letting a shipment sit on the loading dock or tarmac unprotected, wrap it in a Sure-Temp Pallet Cover. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and users don’t have to worry about folding the equipment or storing it away when they are done.

Different Leasing Options Are Available

Not all things have to be tiresome or overwhelming. Our single shipment lease is perfect for shippers with multiple distribution centers. Just call and have the unit delivered to your starting point. Then, install the device and transport the goods. One of our team members will pick the equipment up from the final destination, and it is as simple as that. The month-to-month leasing option is also delivered to the desired location. It stays at your facility for a month, and after that time, you can choose to renew the lease or have the device picked up for servicing.
